In order to provide our customers with the best products available,
we strive to do business with only those companies which produce and
manufacture Chinese herbs and herbal products with a commitment to
sustainable agriculture, environmental protection, and a concern for
species biodiversity and preservation.
Additionally we strive to sell only herbal products which are
manufactured under the GMP guidelines. Good
manufacturing practice (GMP) is a system
for ensuring that products are
consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards.
It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical
production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final
product. The main risks are: unexpected contamination of products,
causing damage to health or even death; incorrect labels on
containers, which could mean that patients receive the wrong
medicine; insufficient or too much active ingredient, resulting in
ineffective treatment or adverse effects. GMP covers all aspects of
production; from the starting materials, premises and equipment to
the training and personal hygiene of staff. Detailed, written
procedures are essential for each process that could affect the
quality of the finished product. There must be systems to provide
documented proof that correct procedures are consistently followed
at each step in the manufacturing process - every time a product is
made.
